There is a game they play on the Ricky Gervais podcast called Rockbusters.
Despite punning in its title, the game has very little in common with Blockbusters. It is played by Karl Pilkington (an idiot, basically) giving three clues about an artist or band he is thinking of, which he considers "cryptic" but are in reality convoluted colloquialisms which often depend on the answer being mispronounced. Along with the "clue", Karl includes the initials of the answer. Gervais and Merchant often referred to the clues as 'craptic'.
One such Rockbuster was as follows:
Clue: Just, er, that Jamaican fella don't want nothing. Initials: ND. Artist or band. That Jamaican fella don't want nothing. What's going on there?
Answer: Neil Diamond (Nil Demand)
Another example:
Clue: Just, er, a picture on a pile. What've we got there? Initial: IH Answer: Well, right, a pictures an image, yeah? Well you got an image on a pile, it's on a heap o' stuff. It's an Image on Heap. Imogen Heap. There's yer answer.
Here's one I'm going to give, the person who guesses the artist or band makes another up. Each Rockbuster clue must begin with 'Just, er,' and end in 'What've we got there?'
Clue: Just, er, in the Arctic, and er, I wanna go to the theatre, what've we got there? Initial: C
